A Latter Day Prophet

Book of Mormon: 1 Nephi Chapter 22

:2- And I, Nephi, said unto them: Behold they were manifest unto the prophet by the voice of the Spirit; for by the Spirit are all things made known unto the prophets, which shall come upon the children of men according to the flesh.

     Throughout all time, people have been blessed to be prepared because of Prophets called by God to warn of things to come.  Just as Moses went to the Egyptians to warn them (even though they didn't heed the warnings for a while), we are blessed to have a Latter Day Prophet for our day:  Thomas S. Monson

To get to know him better, you can go here to watch a video about his life.  I love him so much, he truly is a man of  God:  

 And after our seed is scattered the Lord God will proceed to do a marvelous work among the Gentiles, which shall be of greatworth unto our seed; wherefore, it is likened unto their being nourished by the Gentiles and being carried in their arms and upon their shoulders.

Israel shall be scattered.  I believe that when people do not hearken unto the Lord, they  lose direction and become lost.  Missionaries and members will gather Israel  and bring them out of the darkness and into the light where they will once again know who they are and collect the birthright the Lord has prepared for them:
And it shall also be of worth unto the Gentiles; and not only unto the Gentiles but unto all the house of Israel, unto the making known of the covenants of the Father of heaven unto Abraham, saying: In thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
 12 Wherefore, he will bring them again out of captivity, and they shall be gathered together to the lands of their inheritance; and they shall be brought out of obscurity and out of darkness; and they shall know that the Lord is their Savior and their Redeemer, the Mighty One of Israel.

Just like I said, the Lord called Moses back in the day.  But today he has also called a Prophet just like he did then:
 20 And the Lord will surely prepare a way for his people, unto the fulfilling of the words of Moses, which he spake, saying: A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass that all those who will not hear that prophet shall be cut off from among the people.

Love,
